IVONA is one of the best TTS around. Being a Polish product, the Polish voices are more advanced than other. Unfortunately I got stuck at finding a direct correspondence between lojban and Polish phonemes trying to differentiate between {'} and {x}. For example, to hear a rendition of: {coi ro do .i mi'e .evas. .i mi tavla la lojban .i mi xrukla le zdani} go to http://www.ivona.com/online/editor.php , select the Ewa voice, paste the following and press play. rszoi ro do. ij. mi~'hi~'ee evas. ij. mi tavla la locz~'ban. ij. mi chrukla le zdani. I'm not sure if that rendition would be ok neither if there's a better way to make the Polish voice to better render lojban phonemes. If any Polish speaker lojbanist would like to try IVONA and tell me if there's any mapping, I'll try to revamp the old script I was writing (that is buried somewhere in my harddisk) to convert from plain lojban to something that could be feeded to IVONA recording. remo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
